The Fell Sword Traitor Son Cycle 2 eBook Miles Cameron

I read the Kindle version, so I don't know whether the layout doesn't work as well as in the printed version, but there were times when I found this incomprehensible. The first quarter or so seemed as though it was a totally different story arc from 'The Red Knight', who took forever to turn up in this book. When he finally made an extended appearance, the story picked up. Not only that, but the best bits of this book are when the Red Knight is involved. Just as the worst bits are when the Captal is involved. I know the Captal is supposed to come across as an arrogant boor, so on one hand Mr Cameron has succeeded - but on the other hand, he's so one-sided he's almost a caricature.

Another problem I had with the book is that the author does not wear his learning lightly. There is just far too much detailing of what anyone is wearing at any given time, or how the their swords look. I'm sure it's all historically wonderful, but it just slows the story down, and this is a story that needs to move along briskly, it being somewhat thin at times. Deft scene-setting and light touches are what are needed, not heavy handed overkill.

I had trouble all the way through this book with just who is who - there's an Emperor, a Duke or two, a King and Queen, a Princess (related to the Emperor, not the King and Queen) - and from where they all come. Mr Cameron has dipped heavily into any old civilisation and time period, so there are Etruscans, Venetians, French , Moors, American Indians and Frontiersmen, faeries, goblins, giants; there's Christianity and magic; there's the Italian renaissance and the Wild; it's all a massive hotch potch which personally I don't think works.

And as so often there's an all powerful 'being' who yet manages not to be all powerful. Mr Cameron seems unable to decide just what to do with Thorn, until near the end when he suddenly becomes the tool of an even more mighty being - it's almost as though there's no plot-line worked out for the entire cycle, and that instead Mr Cameron is making it up as he writes.

Which is disappointing, because I really enjoyed 'The Red Knight', and as mentioned, the parts where he is battling and plotting are quite good. Maybe Mr Cameron would be more comfortable writing historical fiction set in 1500s Italy instead of fantasy.

The Fell Sword Traitor Son Cycle 2 eBook Miles Cameron Reviews

Like the way the story and characters are being build up almost to a point where you forget about one character and he surprisingly pops up again! Good storyline.
I think this could have been a lot better if the author had not had so many people to try to sort out who,s who it has not gripped me at all
I have just re-read this novel and am going through the entire series again. This is do much richer and detailed than I remember. This series is a joy to read. It is , by far, the best thing I have read in years.
I loved the first book, The Red Knight, though it sometimes took just too long to get on with it.
This is broadly the same, though with a far more dispersed narrative. The Red Knight had a pretty straight-forward story, though with lots of characters and interactions. This is a far more complicated story, largely unconnected from The Red Knight; in fact it seems like a detour. And it just gets messy.
If you liked The Red Knight, give it a go.
There are lots of different plots going on, and a lot of different species inhabiting this world...so, it is mostly the battle scenes which sometimes can be a bit boring in my opinion. Else, the language is well written(I'm not native English speaking guy..) Cameron have an OK plot developing, but can not be compared to the likes of Sanderson, etc.
It is entertaining, but I liked better the previous one which had more fluidity in the writing. I will start soon on the third installment of the series.
If you liked the first book, this is more of the same. A lot of character points of view, and despite the length it leaves a lot of open loops for the next book, while coming to a somewhat satisfactory conclusion. I like this series.
